Politics is rather dull at present. We had a very interesting speech from Hon. D. C. Haskell last Tuesday evening.

W. Majors, Ex-County Treasurer, was deficient in a considerable amount, and instructed the County Attorney to commence suit to recover said money. Now, I would like to know, if Mr. Majors is deficient as was claimed by the county board, why no suit has been brought against him to recover the money 1 feel more interested in this matter now than under ordinary circumstances, as Mr. Majors is the National and Democratic candidate for legislature in this district, and, while I am a Democrat and have generally voted that have no desire to vote for a man who is a defaulter as is charged against Mr.

Majors, and I see in your issue of Sept. 26th you make several serious charges against Mr. Majors, reiteratinz the charge made by the county board that he was deficient, and now withholds about $10,000 from the public, and neither the Herald or News make any reply to the charges made by yon. Some intimate friends of Mr. Majors sav it is a persecution against him by the county board.

If so, I would like to know it, but on the other hand, if Mr. Majors is actually deficient he should be withdrawn from the canvass forthwith as our party cannot afford to support a defaulter. By giving this a place in your columns immediately you will confer a favor upon An Honest Jeffeksonian Democrat. CEX. BLAIlt AT NEW PITTSBURG.

Xew Pittsucro, Oct. 0th, 1ST8. Editors Press As Democratic post ers announced, Gen. Blair came. We saw, we heard, and on the 5th day of November we will vote so that we can keep the General on.

the Neutral Lands, because he has so much influence with thej railroad and so much influence with Congress that we think it we can keep him in the employ of the railroad nine years more, probably he can get us the interest on the money expended with said railroad and enough to stock, fence and furnish each one hundred and sixtv acres of land. By actual count there were three hundred and eighty-seven men, women and children present, a majority of the voters being Republicans. If he had not brought a crowd from along the Gulf railroad there would have been a small crowd for so beautiful a night and "Great I Am." He spoke one of the Goodin speeches of yore, of I. "what I have heen," "I can be," "I will be," "I am," and "I should be." He said he was a greenbacker; had been for nine yours, ami there was no difference be tween him and the Greenback party of to-day (wonder it he don envy Butler nomination by both parties). Gen.

Blair is a man who is not ignorant of all it implies. Now, then, let me see. We will take an extract from page Oof "Me.at for Men," a document authorized by M. M. Pomeroy, the authorized organizer ol greenback clubs in the United States.

It reads as follows "We bad better untie thctWest and South, secede from a I'nion that benetits only Knstcrn bondholders, and let their dunes in North-eastern states go into slavery to the illegitimate brat of Kepublican burning and Democratic adoption. ou have lied to tho people, you, AmjUMt Belmont, Jay Cooke. John Sherman, and Samttrl J. 'Jilden. You deserve to have your oauks broken open, jour houses plundered, your sjmmuis and your possessions conliscatetl, and yaur North-eastern states held as appeuduges to a united est aud South." If that is theGeneral's doctrine, and 1 can not doubt his word, for he said there was no dillerence between himself and the Greenback party, then it is the duty of every honest voter, no matter what his creed, to-alefeat him.

If this is the silver-tongued orator of Democracy, and those are the doctrincss of the great ''I, send him all over the Neutral Lands, and send a short hand reporter with him so that we can have his speeches published verbatim, and we will give such large Republican majorities in this Second Congressional district that all aman will have to do will be to settle up his business, receive the nomination of the Republican party, aud when the session commences go to Washington, for the other party will never dare to bring out another man. Send Blair down to Baker township again, and we will giveone hundred majority for the Republican ticket this fall. Every Republican will resolve himself into a committee of one to bring his neighbor out to hear the great tell what I have done, I am doing, and I can do. Wonderful. Why couldn't I have heard of before I got so old I did not want political honors? Republicanism is healthy in this township.

Immediately upon the expiration of his first term he re-enlisted on the field and served until the spring of when he was honorably discharged on account of physical disability. In the summer of 1867 lie removed to Kansas, and soon after settled in Crawford county, which remained his home until his death. During nearly Hie whole period of Ms residence hi the state Mr. Brown was closely identified wilh eyery movement looking to the material advancement of the county.

He occupied a prominent position in county politics, yet, not even as a politician, much less as a citizen and neighbor, was he ever known to swerve from that honorable, upright, and dignified course which marks the true man scrupulously honest in all his dealings, whether as merchant or landlord, he was singularly free from the fault, so common with men of his firm ami decided character, that of a stern and uncompromising intolerance of the faults and weakness ef.oihers. On thecontrary, he was remarkably slow to anger and quick to forjrive. The generons friend of the poor, his death has left a blank in the hearts of the community, which will not soon be filled. lie was a pleasant aud genial companion an earnest and aetive friend combining in his character all of those amiable and noble traits winch are calculated to win the esteem and command the respect of his associates and acquaintances. He died unmarried, but leaves a widowed mother ani severail brothers and sisters to mourn his early death, and to them we extend our warai-est sympathy for their great bereavt-ment.
